Abstract
A missile includes a tail section having a multi-nozzle grid with both fixed nozzlettes, and movable, thrust vector nozzlettes. The movable nozzlettes may be configured in a number of discrete array bars, each containing multiple of the movable nozzlettes. Movement of one or more array bars may be used to vector the thrust of the missile, providing roll, yaw, or spinning of the missile, for example.
